Here we are. At the end of this story and trilogy.

Firstly, I want to apologise again that this end hasn't come sooner. I am still so annoyed that work got in the way of something that I wanted to do. I know that life can't be helped but when you are working a job that you don't want to work, it is things like this that keep you going. it felt weird and wrong not to write and to leave this for over a month. So I am sorry that I had to do that.

Secondly, I want to thank you all for your support. As always you have been amazing and do write for you guys as much as myself. I have enjoyed reading every review that has come through and hope you enjoy this chapter as much as you have enjoyed the rest of them. I had thoughts about making this story a little longer but again, work got in the way of any extra planning. It was only going to be five chapters more but I think it would have helped to explain a few things that I have rushed here. Maybe more of an epilogue to the story.

I will be back. I don't know when yet. I am definitely taking a break from upload, mainly because I don't have anything to upload at the moment. I will be taking at least a month off but we will see how things go. Maybe if I get lucky and get a new job (one I will actually enjoy), then things will be better for me.

The next story will more than likely be The Queen of Magic and Camelot.

Hopefully will see you soon.

Chapter 20

7 years later

Everything was set. The banners had been placed at the front of the castle and everywhere had been dusted and cleaned from head to toe. The guest chambers had been dressed appropriately. Everything was ready. Except for one thing.

Merlin weaved in between the servants as he ran down the hallway. He couldn't believe that this was happening now. The one day where everything had to perfectly and this one little thing was wrong. He tried to turn back as his wife turned the corner.

"Merlin, where have you been?"

He stopped and turned back. "Nowhere."

"You have been nowhere. I thought you went to make sure that Gorlois was ready."

"I did."

"Is he?"

Merlin thought about lying but knew that she would have seen through it. "I don't know."

"How do you not know if our son is ready?"

"Well, I can't find him."

"You can't find him."

"No one has seen him all morning."

Morgana huffed. "What did I tell you? I said that he should stay in his chambers last night but no, you had to agree to allow him to sleep in the astrometry tower. I said it wouldn't end well. Come on then. You have to find our son and Arthur isn't going to be long now. I have our other children to worry about."

Merlin nodded before he ran past her. He would need help.

Gorlois sat on top of the astrometry tower, looking out to the horizon. He had watched the Camelot company come closer towards his home. He had heard a lot about Camelot and it's king but he had never met him. His parents would tell him that it was a long journey and that he be better off staying in Drugonia with his grandmother and siblings.

This was the first time that he was going to see his auntie, uncle, and cousin. He smiled at the thought. He couldn't wait to meet them after hearing so much about them.

He stood and started his descent down to the courtyard. He knew that his parents would be looking for him and he had to get there before their guests did.

"You had one job." Morgana hissed.

"I have looked everywhere."

"You can't have. You would have found him."

"Not if he moved. Plus I didn't really have a lot of time. I even got Gwaine and Lancelot involved."

"Mama, where is Gorlois?"

Morgana turned and looked down at their daughter. "That isn't for you to worry about Freya. I am sure he will be here soon."

If by magic, Gorlois came running down the stairs. "Mama, Papa. They are almost here."

Morgana and Merlin turned around and Merlin just about caught him as his son fell forward. He stood him up before Morgana took over, brushing him down and sorting out his clothes.

"Where have you been? We know that they are almost here. That is why we are down here. Now get next to your father. We will have a word with you later."

She didn't miss the little smile that Merlin and Gorlois gave each other. Merlin was definitely going to get it worse than Gorlois. This was mainly his fault. She turned around and could only smile as Arthur lead the group into the courtyard. They allowed them a little time to get themselves together before Merlin and Morgana walked forward to meet Arthur.

"It's good to see you again," Merlin said as he hugged Arthur, patting him on the back.

"I wish we could make the trip sooner," Arthur said letting Merlin go and bring Morgana into an embrace.

"So do I."

Morgana let Arthur go to see that Gorlois had followed them down. She wanted to scold him for falling out of line but instead turned around to her other children and gestured for them to join them. It wasn't like this was an official visit. It was more of a family visit.

"You must be Gorlois," Arthur said as he rested his hand on the young boy's shoulder. "And Freya and Cador." He said as the other two joined them. "Your auntie and cousins should be joining you soon."

"I thought you said that they weren't going to come," Merlin said.

"Merlin, I wasn't going to miss it for the world," Gwen said as she finally joined them, holding the latest addition of the Pendragons in her arms. "Plus you can only imagine what Gyneth was like when she was told that she would have to stay in Camelot. She is one of the reasons that I am here."

Morgana pulled her close. "You must be tired from the journey. Come on, I will show you where you are staying. We must catch up and I am sure the boys also have things that they need to catch up on."

She felt Gwen allowed her to pull her away. She just about heard the conversation between Gyneth and her oldest.

"I am Gyneth Pendragon. You must be Gorlois Wyllt."

"I might be."

"Uncle Merlin said that you were a bit of a troublemaker."

"What if I am."

"Well..."

Morgana looked over her shoulder to see Gyneth whisper into Gorlois' ear.

"I think we have trouble." She said to Gwen.

"We can leave them to it and just allow Merlin and Arthur pick up the pieces. I swear she is getting more like Arthur every single day. It is definitely the Pendragon in her."

"With that logic, Gorlois is a mix of Pendragon and Wyllt. That is a dangerous mix. Wyllts are clumsy and the Pendragons always look for adventure. I swear I see him on the roof sometimes."

"Well, I hope this one will take more after me. I wouldn't like the Pendragon temper if this one is going to end up on the Camelot throne."

Morgana smiled. "I can only hope for the Drugonian throne."

They couldn't help but giggle as they reached the entrance to the castle. She had missed this. She had missed her.

"I am sure that they will be fine," Morgana said. "Like we are."

They both quickly looked over her shoulder as Gyneth and Gorlois ran off laughing and Merlin and Arthur looking worried. Whatever they were planning, she was sure that Merlin could at least deal with it. After all, he was the most powerful sorcerer to walk the earth.

Yeah, they would be just fine.

And Merlin did get his magic back. Just in case it was unclear.
